Pep Guardiola is just ‘one step away’ from renewing his contract with Manchester City, according to reports from the Catalan media.
Sport today writes that the coach will continue as the club’s manager and has decided to start negotiations for a new deal.
It’s claimed that along with Guardiola, Manchester City directors Txiki Begiristain and Ferran Soriano have taken the World Cup break to begin with the ‘basis’ for the contract and talk about the plans for the team.
It’s written that the manager didn’t want the talks to affect the club’s routine, and that’s why they’re doing it right now when the squad is out in Qatar
Guardiola is said to be ‘delighted’ at Manchester City, since he took the club to a new level, and there’s ‘no hurry to leave’.
So even though the manager recently said in a press conference that this was not the time to talk about a new contract, it seems this is exactly the time he chose to renew his deal.
